Copper Beech by Deborah Newton

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

It’s texture all the way in these springtime pieces by Deborah Newton featuring Marla, Sami, or both together! Interesting stitches give the fabrics depth and dimension, while on-trend shapes are perfect for layering.

Copper Beech shows Sami in a delicate, feminine mood. Eyelets lighten the fabric for perfect drape in the bell sleeves.
